Oh my god I'm really considering the romance now!
*Ahem* So anyway here is the first chapter of the Lullaby arc! I decided to bring along all three of them anyway, mainly since this story is about three fairies, so it's unfair to only bring two.
So with this in mind, I bring you more chaos!
Chapter Five:
It had been a few weeks since the adventure of our dear "heroes".
Things had settled down and become peaceful again, well as peaceful as Fairy Tail can get anyway.
Whitney is usually found sleeping somewhere, her naps are a common occurrence (since it happens all the time) and thus the other guild members just make sure to watch their step to not disturb the young albino.
Especially after that one incident...
"FLAME BRAIN!"
"SNOW BRAIN!"
Natsu and Gray were fighting. Again. Since Erza wasn't around, nobody else was quite willing to go out of their way to break the two up.
One unfortunate step caused to duelling duo to push Whitney of her precarious position on the top of a table. Whitney fell off the table and was rudely awaked from her slumber. Natsu and Gray didn't even notice and continued their squabble.
A scary-looking shadow fell over Whitney's eyes. "You woke me up..." She hissed ominously.
Natsu and Gray paused, feeling a great pressure. They turned around to see the glowering Whitney. Although the girl was shorter then both of them, the magical pressure she was putting out seemed to make her tower over them.
Yukia squeezed her eyes shut and ignored the screams that followed...
And that sounded FAR more grim then it should of...
To be honest, it was really one of the moments that were funny to the viewer, but not so funny to the people involved.
Nevertheless everybody, including Natsu and Gray, learned to leave Whitney alone in her naps.
Ahem
So anyway a few weeks later Natsu returned after going off somewhere. And he brought a young blonde girl with him. At first several people assumed Natsu to have mysteriously picked up a girl, but it was later discovered that the girl's name was Lucy, and she wanted nothing more then to join the guild. A few more questions revealed that she in fact, did NOT follow Natsu out of affection.
Yukia of course immediately began to tease Natsu about this, especially after finding out that the pinkette had even formed a team with Lucy.
So then a day or so after that, Erza returned to the guild and thus our story begins.
By the way, what do you guys think of my Narrator voice? Pretty cool eh?
*Ahem* Before you kill me in annoyance, I'll let you read the chapter now.
...
Guys help! I can't turn off my Narrator voice!
Aha, there we go.
"Are they seriously fighting again?" Myvo asked. He was wearing dark blue jeans, a scarlet shirt and a brown jacket.
"They've been doing it for years, I don't quite see how it's anything out of the ordinary." Yukia replied with a smirk. She was still wearing her cyan goggles, but now she was wearing a long burgundy shirt, with green shorts underneath. She was wearing burgundy thigh-length socks and black boots.
Whitney ignored the both of them and continued to slumber on. She was wearing a navy dress with a gray cardigan over it. She had brown leather boots and a navy bow holding back her white hair.
Yukia burst out in laughter when Natsu was sent flying into Lucy, sending the two tumbling to the ground.
"Knock it off you guys..." Lucy murmured, looking half-squished.
"He picked a fight with me, I can't turned down his offer!" Gray boasted.
"Gray, clothes" Cana reminded casually, causing Gray to look at his lack of clothes in shock
"Is it always like this?" Whitney murmured in amusement.
"Pretty much, yeah" Myvo muttered.
"WE GOT TROUBLE!" Loke shouted, bursting through the door, which he had fled out of earlier. If Yukia had to guess, it was girl troubles.
"Erza's back" Loke explained. Everybody panicked.
"She can hardly be that bad." Whitney mused, standing up and walking over to where Lucy and Mira was standing. Yukia and Myvo followed her.
"Where have you been these last few weeks?" Yukia demanded.
"Sleeping." Myvo replied, crossing his arms.
Whitney didn't get a chance to reply as Erza marched through the door at that exact moment, carrying what appeared to be a large fang. She placed it on the ground with a bang. "I've returned. Is the master here?" She asked.
"S-So pretty..." Lucy whispered.
"Welcome back Erza! The master is at a meeting now" Mira explained.
"E-Erza what is that?" One of the guild members asked.
"A fang of the creature I slew during the job request. The locals decorated it for me as a reward. Is there a problem with it?" Erza demanded.
"No!" was the squeaked replied.
"I bet she's heard about the Hakobe incident" Cana murmured slyly to Macao.
"I-I'm a goner" Macao mumbled.
"Now while on the road I heard a lot of bad rumours about this guild. It seems you've all been causing chaos again" Erza started "The master my not care, but I do!"
Erza then proceed to turn around to the individual members of the guild and reprimand them
"Cana! How dare you drink while dressed like that! Vijeeter!"
"Yes!?" Vijeeter jumped.
"Take your dancing outside! Wakaba! I see cigarette buts on the ground! Nab! Dawdling in front of the request board as usual. Just pick a job!" Erza continued.
During all this Yukia tried her hardest to suppress a snigger. Alas she failed.
"Yukia! Stop laughing at every little thing that happens!" Erza said. Myvo threw Yukia a pointed look. "Myvo! Stop giving Yukia the cold shoulder and go with her on a job once in a while!" Erza snapped.
"Macao!" Erza seemed about to say something, before pausing and sighing. "Say something!" Macao stuttered.
"Sometimes I don't know what to do with you all, but I'm going to be kind today and say nothing" Erza decided.
"I think you've already said plenty..." Lucy muttered. Whitney silently nodded in agreement. "Is she like a disciplinarian?"
"That's Erza for you" Yukia and Happy murmured in unison.
"Surely there's no reason to be afraid of her..."
"Is Natsu and Gray here?" Erza asked
"Aye!" Happy replied, pointing to Natsu and Gray. They were holding hands and had an arm slung over each other's shoulders. They were almost acting like best buddies!
"H-Hey Erza, we're best buds as always" Gray stuttered nervously.
"Aye!" Natsu agreed. They were both sweating.
"Natsu's turned into Happy!" Lucy exclaimed in shock. Even Whitney appeared a little surprised.
"Here we go again" Myvo muttered.
Erza nodded. "Good. Sometimes however, friends fight, but it warms my heart to see you two getting along"
"Well I wouldn't quite say getting along" Gray murmured.
"Aye" Natsu agreed.
"Are you two idiots!?" Yukia hissed.
"I've never seen Natsu act like this" Lucy exclaimed.
"A while ago Natsu challenged Erza to a fight and got badly beat up by her" Mira explained.
"And she found Gray walking around naked and beat him up" Myvo explained.
"And beat up Loke for trying to hit on her" Yukia explained while rolling her eyes.
"Well I wouldn't expect any less from him" Lucy muttered.
"Natsu, Gray, Yukia, Myvo. I have a favour to ask" Erza stated.
Natsu and Gray dropped the "friend" act in surprise and stared at Erza in surprise. Yukia and Myvo also looked surprised.
"While on the road I heard some troubling news. Normally I'd consult the master on something like this, but as he is away I think this is a matter of uttermost urgency. I need your help, will you accompany me?" Erza asked.
"What is this?" "Erza is asking for help?" Confused murmurs circled around the guild.
"We leave tomorrow morning, make sure you are ready" Erza said.
Natsu and Gray looked at each other, clearly not excited at the prospect of working together.
"Erza, Natsu, Gray, Yukia and Myvo. I never even imagined it before" Mira murmured.
Lucy and Whitney looked at her.
"This could very well be the most powerful team in Fairy Tail!" Mira finished with a gulp
"AAHH! Why do I have to team up with you?!" Natsu demanded.
"That's my line!" Gray shouted. "If Erza needs help I'm more then capable by myself!"
"Then go by yourself, I don't want to go!" Natsu yelled, planting his head against Gray.
"Sure, you can be beat up by Erza later!" Gray retorted.
"I think I've worked out why Erza asked us along as well." Myvo muttered. Yukia glanced at Myvo. "At then she has somebody she can reasonably trust. I wouldn't trust those idiots!" Myvo explained. Yukia giggled.
"I don't know them. I don't know them..." Lucy muttered, seemingly trying to convince herself more than anybody else.. Whitney sat next to her on the bench, fast asleep.
"Why are you two here anyway?" Happy asked around the fish he was eating.
"Because of Mira..." Lucy whined.
"Natsu and Gray are going to fight when Erza's not looking, so make sure to stop them okay?" Mira asked with a smile.
"Me?!" Lucy exclaimed. Whitney was sitting on the stool next the her, looking equally surprised.
"You're not stopping them" Happy pointed out.
"I know but..." Lucy muttered.
"Sorry, did I keep you all waiting?" Erza asked.
"Ah Erza-" Lucy started before stopping in surprise, her mouth wide open. Erza was lugging along a HUGE cart of luggage!
"Okay let's be good buddies as usual!" Gray exclaimed.
"Aye sir!" Natsu replied
"It's Happy 2 again!" Lucy exclaimed.
"I can't believe Erza seriously falls for that" Yukia muttered.
"Yes it's important to be on good terms" Erza nodded to Natsu and Gray.
"She falls for it!" Yukia exclaimed while rolling her eyes.
"That's Erza for you" Myvo replied,
"So who are you? I recall seeing you at the guild yesterday" Erza asked Lucy. Yukia nudged Whitney, which promptly woke her up.
"I'm Lucy! I just joined. Mira asked me to come along, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Lucy explained. Natsu and Gray started fighting again, but continued the buddy act whenever Erza glanced over her shoulder. Yukia and Myvo merely stared at them in exasperation.
"I'm Erza, It's a pleasure" Erza replied, glancing at Natsu and Gray again. "So you're Lucy? I heard you vanquished a Vulcan mercenary with just your little finger." Erza said. Lucy seemed utterly astonished at this
"And who are you?" Erza looked at Whitney. "I recall seeing you at the guild every now and again, but I never received a chance to ask for your name"
"Whitney" The albino replied. "I joined a few weeks ago, but I've been rather busy."
"Sleeping" Yukia added in a whisper. Luckily Erza didn't hear her.
"Ah. Well it's a pleasure to meet you. The more assistance we receive the better" Erza replied.
Natsu broke away from Gray to face Erza. "Erza" Natsu began. "I'll come along on one condition"
"Hey!" Gray whispered.
"You insane?" Yukia hissed.
"What is it? Tell me" Erza asked.
Natsu clenched his fist and grinned. "Fight me when we get back!"
"HUH!?" Lucy and Yukia exclaimed in unison.
"Hey now don't be hasty" Gray muttered
"Do you have a death wish?" Myvo asked incredulously.
"Things are different now" Natsu continued. "I can beat you now!"
"It's true that you've improved." Erza mused. "I feel slightly at a disadvantage. Very well, I accept."
"This is not going to end well" Yukia and Myvo muttered
"All right! I'm getting fired up!" Natsu shouted, flames shooting out of his head.
"You're pathetic. This immediately after picking a fight?" Gray muttered. Natsu was leaning back in his seat, looking very sick, and perhaps a little blue. Yukia sat in between Gray and Natsu, looking rather worried. Probably because she didn't want Natsu to puke on her boots.
Opposite them, Whitney sat between Erza and Lucy. As there was no more room, poor Myvo had to stand.
"It's gotta be tough for him, doing this every time" Lucy murmured in sympathy
"Oh all right, come sit next to me" Erza comanded.
"Is she asking us to move?" Lucy asked Whitney, who shrugged and stood up.
Lucy and Whitney moved to the opposite seat. Lucy sat at the edge while Whitney sat in between Gray and Lucy. Yukia ended up moving to the other side, but she half-sat to the windowsill as Nastu took up most of the seat.
"Now just relax." Erza soothed.
"Aye" Natsu replied, before being hit hard in the stomach, promptly knocking him out. Myvo sharply drew in breath, while Yukia merely grimaced. That's Erza for you.
"There, this will make the journey easier for him." Erza explained. Lucy merely stared in shock, and perhaps disbelief. Whitney's mouth hung open a little, but she said nothing.
"Erza, isn't about time you filled us in?" Gray asked.
Yukia nodded. "What exactly is so big you need to drag all of us out here?"
"Right, we're going up against the Eisenwald guild" Erza explained "They plan on using a magic called Lullaby for something big."
"Lullaby?!" Gray and Lucy exclaimed.
Myvo frowned. "You've heard of it before?" He asked.
Lucy and Gray explained how Happy was captured by some strange people. They were subdued, but a strange shadow took the villains away. Erza frowned before explaining her encounter. She was in an inn when she heard some Eisenwald members talk about Lullaby, and a man called Erigor.
"Lullaby, as in a nursery rhyme or a bedtime song?" Yukia asked.
Erza nodded. "The fact that is was sealed away must mean it was powerful dark magic. The man they mentioned, Erigor is a powerful wizard, that only accepts assassination jobs, which has earned him the title, The Reaper.
"ASSASSINATION!?" Yukia and Myvo exclaimed incredulously. Whitney crossed her arms and frowned.
"The council outlawed assassination job, but Eisenwald continued doing them, eventually causing them to become a dark guild." Erza explained.
"I think I want to go home..." Lucy whined.
"You're making a lot of juice" Happy pointed out.
"It's sweat!" Lucy moaned.
"I'm such a fool!" Erza explained, slamming her fist on Natsu's head. Myvo winced, that had to hurt. "If I had recognised the name Erigor at the time I could of pulverised them and found out their plan."
"Scary!" Lucy hissed. Yukia and Myvo nodded in mute agreement.
"So Eisenwald is planning to do something with this Lullaby." Gray muttered as he looked out the window.
"And you want us to help take them down before something bad happens?" Myvo suggested.
"Yes. I don't believe I can take down an entire guild by myself, which is why I asked for all your help." Erza stated. "We're going to storm the Eisenwald guild!"
"Sounds interesting" Gray smirked.
"Count me in!" Yukia grinned.
Myvo rolled his eyes. "The crazy things you people do." He muttered, although there was a small mischievous smile playing on his lips.
"This should be fun" Whitney added quietly
"Aye!" Happy shouted.
"I shouldn't of come" Lucy moaned.
"Lucy, your juice!" Happy pointed out.
"It's sweat!"
The group had ordered lunch and everybody was munching on sandwiches.
"If it's not rude to ask, what kind of magic do you use Erza?" Lucy asked.
"It's really pretty!" Happy exclaimed. "It makes her enemies bleed a lot!"
"You call that pretty?" Lucy muttered.
"Personally if think Gray's magic is prettier." Erza said.
"Really?" Gray put on hand on top of another. A blue magic circle appeared for a moment before a small Fairy Tail mark appeared, made out of ice. It floated towards Lucy.
"Ice magic." Gray explained.
"Pff, I think Myvo's magic is prettier" Yukia stated with a smirk.
Myvo smiled shyly. "Most of the things I make are abominations, it's far from pretty."
"What kind of magic do you use then Myvo?" Lucy asked.
"Plant magic." Myvo replied, sitting on the arm of the seat. "I'd show you, but I need soil for it. Can't make plants out of thin air."
"You can too!" Yukia protested. "Remember that one time you made me that pretty flower when we were little?"
Myvo blushed. "It died within minutes..." He muttered uncomfortably.
"Well you were still quite-" Gray began before pausing in surprise. Whitney had fallen sleep, and was leaning on his shoulder!
"Aww that's adorable!" Yukia exclaimed.
"It's almost like you two are a couple!" Lucy squealed.
Gray rolled his eyes. "Very cute, now get her off." Gray muttered, moving to shrug Whitney off his shoulder.
"NO!" Yukia and Myvo shouted in unison. "Remember what happened last time you woke Whitney up"? Myvo asked.
Yukia, Myvo and Gray all turned pale. "What happened?" Erza asked.
"We'll tell you later..." Happy muttered.
Later the adventurers arrived at the town of Onibus. They all stepped off the train to look around.
Well, almost all of them...
"So those Eisenwald guys are in this town?" Gray
"I don't know, that's that we're about to find out" Erza explained
"Well this'll take a while" Yukia muttered.
"Wait, aren't we missing something?" Myvo asked.
Everybody paused in surprise and horror, they had left Natsu and Whitney on the train!
"There it goes" Happy said as the train steamed off.
"I was so completely absorbed in our conversation that I forgot!" Erza exclaimed. "I can't believe myself! And Natsu's horrible at riding vehicles as well! This is my fault, will you please hit me?"
"Now now..." Lucy murmured
"Let's not be hasty..." Myvo soothed.
"This is your fault as well!" Yukia accused Gray.
"Mine? How!?" Gray demanded.
"Whitney was asleep on YOUR shoulder, you should of woken her up!" Yukia shouted back.
"I did wake her up!" Gray yelled. "She fell back sleep when I thought she was behind us, how is that my fault?"
"Please don't use that!" A conductor exclaimed. Erza had pulled a switch to stop the train in it's tracks, no pun intended.
Lucy, Myvo and Yukia looked dumbfounded, although Gray seemed indifferent.
"It's for our comrade, please understand" Erza replied "Please take our luggage to the hotel."
"Why me?" The conductor asked
"I guess everybody in Fairy Tail is like this" Lucy murmured.
"Not me" Gray replied.
"Then where are your clothes?!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Who knows" Myvo muttered.
"It's amazing that Gray can't get a girl with a habit like that" Yukia sniggered.
"Shut up you!" Gray retorted.
Erza zoomed along on a Magic four-wheeler. Lucy, Yukia, Myvo and Happy were inside, but poor Gray had to cling to the roof.
"Natsu!" Lucy shouted. Exactly when she had called that, Natsu burst out of the window with Whitney slung over his shoulder. Natsu collided with Gray and the two went tumbling to the ground, but luckily Whitney seemed unharmed. She was also still asleep.
Erza screeched the vehicle to a halt. "Natsu, Whitney, are you both okay?" She demanded.
"Aye" Natsu murmured. Whitney merely snored.
"That hurt you idiot!" Gray shouted.
"Shut up you!" Natsu shouted back. "How dare you leave us behind!"
"Wake up Whitney" Yukia murmured, gently shaking the Albino. Whitney yawned and blinked sleepily.
"My apologies, but I am glad you are not hurt!" Ezra replied, drawing Natsu to her chest plate. There was a bang. "That's gotta hurt" Myvo muttered.
"Geez I'm not okay" Natsu muttered, rubbing his sore head. "Some weirdo attacked me on the train."
"Weirdo?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, the guy that dragged away the bastards that tried to eat Happy" Natsu explained. "Said he was with Eisenwald."
"YOU FOOL!" Erza shouted, slapping Natsu so hard he went flying to the ground. Everybody else just watched dumbfounded. "We're chasing Eisenwald, why didn't you pursue him?"
"Huh? This is the first I heard." Natsu replied in confusion.
"I just explained it on the train, listen when people talk!" Erza nearly shouted.
"I think that's because she knocked him out." Lucy whispered. "Erza's unbelievable in so many ways."
"Agreed" Gray muttered.
"That's Erza for you!" Happy stated.
"How about we keep the fact that you were asleep on the down-low huh?" Yukia whispered the Whitney, who was asleep again. "Seriously, again?!" Yukia exclaimed in disbelief.
Myvo rolled his eyes and picked up Whitney. "I'll bring her inside the Magic four-wheeler.
"Not enough room for all of us" Yukia sighed. "Guess I'm on the roof with Gray"
"Anyway if he's on that train then we must remain in pursuit" Erza stated, placing the SE-plug on her arm.
"So what did he look like?" Gray asked.
"He wasn't actually that distinctive..." Natsu murmured "He had some kind of skull flute thought, Really creepy like, it had three eyes."
"Three eyed skull?" Myvo asked.
"Creepy" Yukia muttered.
Lucy's eyes widened. "What's wrong Lucy?" Happy asked.
"I know about that flute..." Lucy murmured. "Lullaby... A cursed song... It's Death Magic!"
"A cursed song?" Gray asked. "Like an incantation?"
"I've only read about it in books" Lucy continued. "But there's some forbidden spells out there right?"
"Yes, cursed black magic that kills whomever it's used on" Erza muttered.
"Well Lullaby's even worse then that!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Worse how?" Yukia asked, not quite wanting to know the answer.
"It's powerful magic, improved by a certain Black wizard." Lucy explained. "It kills all who hear it!"
"There's no time to waste, everybody get on!" Erza shouted.
"Slow down Erza!" Gray shouted, clutching the to roof for dear life. Yukia hung next to him. "Powering this thing takes a lot of Magic energy, even for you!"
"Listen to him Erza!" Yukia yelled.
"There's no time to waste, there's no telling what Erigor will do if he gets his hands on that death magic!" Erza shouted back.
"Well, we'll do you no good if we fly off the roof!" Yukia wailed.
Man that took forever to write! I directly quoted from the show a lot, so I had to hop between the internet and my word document!
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out though, and it looks like my chapters are gonna be far longer when I do canon story arcs!
Likewise it'll take me longer to type out chapters. Who knows what I'll do when school starts back up... Meh I'll worry about it then
Anyway thanks for reading, and please give me your views! Any and all feedback is appreciated!
Cya next time guys!
